How do I animate a face extruding along a curve?

You can animate extrusions made from NURBS curves. But as far as I know, you cannot directly animate extrusions along a face; you could do it in a way if the curve's length itself can be animated. For example, if the curve was made out of a NurbCircle, you could animate its Sweep to change its length to make it look like the extrusion is animated.

You could also try to use the offset and the taper attributes. For the tapper you would need to use the widget (this might be only for maya 7). Try making the widget have one point at the beginning with value 1 and one at the end with value 0. Then create another one in the middle and move it around.
